Don't bite off more than you can chew...


After a long and lazy christmas paint pause (partly thanks to the weather), I dragged myself down to Leake st. this morning with my newly acquired thermos flask and digital camera!
Ended up having a really great paint day nxt to these guys:
mobusy & Rioh1 & friend who'm I'll put up a link for as soon as I find one...

I decided to do some people who overdid xmas a bit, like me!
The characters are stuffing themselves with turkey and swimming in gravy:


Tongue swallows some specially made "motor-Rennies" next to man a sleep in the corner.

More eating! And finally; wide shot:

Tomorrow I'll miss you...

On 12th december Solo, Myself and Bonzai went to paint Stockwell yet again...
Here's me looking quite a lot like the character I'm painting!





SoloOne's piece: I don't think he was totally satisfied with this, but I'm loving it! (No McD pun intended!)
Bonzai's piece, see it here on his blog...



I didn't know it at the time, but my 19yr old (in human years!!) cat Buster, is going to be put to sleep today, due to illness and old age - I will dedicate this to him, after all when you've known someone for 19 years they are closer to you than most, and yes; Tomorrow I'll will miss you!!

Leake street 6th December

The day after the big duster paint in Stockwell we went out for another session at Leake street before our friends from Ireland had to catch a flight - here's what we did:

"Get dressed for Depressed" - some sort of metaphor for what it feels like going out doors at the moment...
RASK ireland:
SoloOne did something a bit more warming...


Stockwell 28th November

This is a while back, on the 28th November Solo and I braved the cold and went painting in sub-zero temperatures, hence the result...

... we only had to wait till the next day for the snow to fall and add the finishing touch to the work! (This great image is by Datachump, see his flickr streem here)

This was a pretty big day, not just with regards to the size of the wall and the amount of people there, but also the names...
"Duster" from NYC - (now LA) came by Stockwell, he's been painting since I was in my mums belly and you can see him here in this awesome documentary from way back!
